CAMEL discography and reviews
according to progarchives camel is described more as symphonic prog
there's also list of bands that fit under the canterbury scene
Canterbury Scene, a progressive rock music sub-genre
some of the prominent bands are caravan, khan, gong, hatfield and the north, national health and soft machine
i may describe it as a bri'ish men playing jazz fusion prog rock or maybe the jazzy prog rock that gives you the beatles vibe? they did have that unique vibe that's hard to describe lol
I guess I made a mistake. Prog is so full of subgenres and scenes that it's easy to get confused sometimes.
You're right, I believe Symphonic Prog is an accurate description of Camel.
I wasn't aware of this site; it's a great source of references to explore. Thanks for sharing it!
to your question, indeed i was an avid fan of prog, though i also listen to classical and jazz as well. camel is among the great bands, so you have a nice taste :D
the 70s bands are overall great but i don't really pick any favorites since a lot of them are great. i just listen to whatever sound fancy my ears.
if i name a few, i'd pick gabriel era genesis, gentle giant, camel, iq and big big train. a lot of their music are a hit for me.
A fellow prog enjoyer!
After all, classical music is the foundation of prog rock music, especially the more technical bands, and it has also been influenced by jazz. But then again, what hasn't been influenced by jazz?
I love Camel, but there are even more substantial bands that come before them. My absolute favorite band is Yes, and "Close To The Edge" is my all-time favorite album. It's a somewhat predictable choice, but it's objectively a timeless masterpiece. Following them are King Crimson and Genesis with Peter Gabriel.
My favorite pieces are
"Starless" and
"In The Wake Of Poseidon" (King Crimson),
"Firth of Fifth" (Genesis),
"Heart of The Sunrise" and
"Close to the Edge" (YES).
Each of them interprets the genre in their own way, and every music is always a journey.
did they really have anti nsfw filter on their lyrics? how tf these go through xD
also, the nsfw filter might work mostly on the song title. i can get away with really pervy lyrics in jp (probably won't work if it's in english tho)
It wouldn't let me use the words "torture" or "
iggas." I think the filter only works in English, judging by your songs in Japanese...
The choir makes it all epic.
I like this folk-style version.

The contrast between the lyrics and the music style really makes me laugh; they are all great experiments nonetheless. This AI performs really well in Japanese.
tl;dr they didn't seem to recognize prog rock as musical style
the lyric language might play a bigger role for vocal songs than the musical setting in the start
Maybe I've managed to create something that can be defined as prog? I figured out how to make longer songs, but it cost me quite a few credits.
Since you're an expert, maybe you can tell with your ear if it fits the genre. It's definitely experimental. I used several of your prompts for the instrumental parts, though I'm not sure if it followed them exactly.
I like the experiment, just a shame about a bit of noise.

By extending the songs, I've created a Jungle, Breakcore, Drum and Bass piece that's quite good and serves as the closing theme for the latest chapter I wrote for the Scribble Hub fan fiction. I really like the result.

To conclude, an R&B piece about a festival in honor of a daikon deity, trying to make use of the Japanese bamboo flute. The result is pleasing.
